Layla El-Faouly, archeologist, wife, superhero, current Avatar of the goddess Tawaret.
I post what I like and believe if that bothers you feel free to move along.
Intolerance not tolerated here, that said I’m happy to have you, last few years have been rough and I’m looking forward to taking things easier.
Liberation, social justice, mental healthcare, and equality should be a given, but we’re still not there. I got my curls and my resilience from my mama and neither are going anywhere.
Frequently feel torn between the madness of the marvelous and the more sane everyday of my life. I do in fact still pay bills and forget groceries till the last minute. You’d think I’d have more figured out by now.
My interests are my work as well as poetry and history. If you name a country I’ve probably been there. That’s all really.
Have a good day and take care of yourself!
(RP, fanpage, and general nonsense sideblog for the best baddie to hit the MCU, Layla El-Faouly!
Fun fact, this sideblog only exists thanks to @themoonsvengeance. Full credit, without this, never would have gotten here.
As has been demonstrated and will be again Layla is an unreliable narrator and does not take her tumblr blog seriously. She can be goofy or more sincere or moody depending on how I’m feeling, honestly.
Unless otherwise stated in tags all posts are open roleplay, tagged #in character or #out of character so you know what’s what.
By default I only RP dialogue. You can totally respond with descriptions or narrative writing and I absolutely don’t mind at all if you write hers, I just personally prefer to save that for my fic writing. I only have so much creative bandwidth and am better at dialogue anyhow.
Check out #about layla for more on Layla, #layla speaks for her original text posts, and #mod speaks for updates and meta commentary.
Tagging system.
Mostly headcanons, the stuff d*sney is too cowardly or prejudiced to do. Don’t get me wrong, I’m amazed at what the creators did with her, and I honor their work, but we can go harder. She deserves better.
May occasionally steal bits from comic canon but it’s an expensive hobby so I haven’t read any.
Mod is not Middle Eastern or fluent in Arabic or French, this is all just for fun.
Anyone who knows more about Marvel canon, archeology, Arab culture, or Egyptian mythology than me absolutely feel free to correct and criticize, I encourage it.
My timezone is EST [New York] and I’m most active typically around 2-6pm, but don’t count on it. My name’s Mel but I’d prefer you refer to me as mod or OP unless we’re having a personal conversation.
By default everything is kept PG-13 or Teen, that doesn’t mean there won’t ever be anything adult. Filter tags if that’s a problem, tw: cursing and tw: suggestive, among any other tw that pop up. Mod is 18+.
Ask box ALWAYS open. Questions, letters, confessions, whatever you like.
I mean physically, you’re not a six month old baby. You look like a a kid over six years old, and you have the motor skills and verbal ability of one too.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t think I’m attracted to you. Like, at all. And I really don’t think Marc would be happy about that. Or maybe he would, if I broke up with Layla, but I’m happy with Layla
But speaking of- when are you and Layla going to get married?
[Jake leans forward in excitement, speaking as fast as possible] Can I come? Can I be your best man? Can Khonshu come too? Maybe he should walk you down the aisle. Is Gus going to be there? What about the cat in the alleyway behind the apartment? Can Daredevil come? I like Daredevil-
